THe MR staff is using the latest release of GP20’s, N scalers before you buy a decoder check your GP20. If it has open bottom trucks it’s not the most recent run, if the trucks are sealed it is from the most recent run.
Nothing I own is from the “latest run”.
I’m one of those cheapscapes.[:$]
Ain’t nothing wrong with that, the only locos I got that are new runs are a pair of E5’s, a pair of RS3’s, an E7, and an NW2. the rest were previously owned.
